A saffron-flavored Spanish dish made with varying combinations of rice, vegetables, meat, chicken, and seafood.

This is one of my favorite things to make for a crowd. It does take some time to prepare but is well worth it!
If you like Buffalo Wings you are going to love this soup!
Spicy and easy to make. Just add a salad, sandwich or some celery sticks with ranch or blue cheese dip and enjoy an easy-to-make supper.
Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others;
each batch has its own characteristics;
and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.

“There is nothing like a plate or a bowl of hot soup, it's wisp of aromatic steam making the nostrils quiver with anticipation, to dispel the depressing effects of a grueling day at the office or the shop, rain or snow in the streets, or bad news in the papers.”
Louis P. De Gouy, The Soup Book (1949)1
Looking for a way to draw people in and share nourishment for the body as well as the soul? You may want to consider organizing a gathering around a warm bowl of soup.
“Soup is the song of the hearth... and the home.”
Louis P. De Gouy, The Soup Book (1949)1
Conference Planning Meetings While Sharing Soup:
You may want to gather your team to cast vision for your next project, brainstorm on specifics, address invitations or coordinate packets over a steaming bowl of soup. Crock pots are great time savers so you can have the ingredients simmering for hours as you coordinate other details for your meeting and event.
